Ruling the Countryside
Our Pasts - III
The Blue Rebellion and After
In March 1859, thousands of ryots in Bengal refused to grow indigo and protested violently against indigo planters; many farmers declared that they would rather beg than grow indigo for the Company.
The ryots also got support of the local zamindars and village headman in their rebellion, because the landlords were also unhappy with the increasing power of the British indigo planters.
The indigo peasants thought that the British government might help them in their struggle against the indigo planters, and the British government was already worried about another rebellion breaking out in India (after the Revolt of 1857 that resulted in the deaths of many British and Indian men, women, and children).
